    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I help the product managers of tablet, smartwatch, audio, PC and memory oversee the product lifecycle of their new devices. This includes sales, marketing, promotions etc. I helped setup the products for key accounts, track sales and present new product information to accounts. I also was responsible for carrying out processes for moving money around the business (for promotions), tracking product pricing across retailers and approving PDPs for e-store. As well as ad-hoc requests.


    Skills
